Dom And The Ikos, Laurie McVay & The High Rollers

A uniquely flavoured and world travelled live band, Dom Pipkin & The Ikos deliver the hottest New Orleans funk and Rhythm & Blues, driven by killer UK piano player Dom Pipkin.

"I can't hold a candle to this guy. He's a serious piano player" - Jamie Cullum

With their stagecraft honed from a two year residency at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, the 5-piece band bring the classic sound of New Orleans Funk and R&B right into the 21st century. Led by Dom Pipkin, a man with a blues heritage reaching from appearances with Eric Bibb, Pee Wee Ellis, Ray Davies and Paul Jones, to name just a few. He has also opened for Dr John and the late Screamin' Jay Hawkins as well as working as music director/piano player for Paloma Faith on her European and world tours.

Support from Laurie McVay & The High Rollers. His new CD, The Blues World of Laurie McVay, carries echoes of Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Tim Buckley and others, but the sound is totally his own.
